Williams Cos stock trades at EUR 65.20 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 11:07 a.m. CEST, down 1.54 percent versus the Xetra close of October 14, 2026 at EUR 66.22. The move follows a Jefferies target cut dated October 14, 2026, while Williams has scheduled its third-quarter results for November 2, 2026.

The target reset

According to Markets Insider on October 14, 2026, Jefferies lowered its Williams target from USD 85.00 to USD 83.00 and maintained a Buy rating. The firm cited weaker Haynesville volumes as a fiscal 2027 risk, while seeing greater potential from the power segment beyond fiscal 2028.

Three milestones since February

Ticker Scout reports that Williams set 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of USD 8.05 billion to USD 8.35 billion on February 10, 2026. Its second-quarter update on August 3, 2026, showed GAAP net income of USD 827 million versus USD 546 million in the year-earlier quarter.

The October 14, 2026 Jefferies action is the latest of those three dated developments, with the USD 2.00 target reduction putting more weight on the balance between Haynesville volumes and power growth.

What does the target mean?

The latest reported quarter gives investors a concrete operating counterweight. Williams generated USD 3.05 billion of second-quarter revenue, up 9.80 percent from the prior-year quarter, while adjusted EBITDA reached USD 1.921 billion, an increase of 6 percent, according to Ticker Scout.
